Soyez attentif à « l’hypoxie silencieuse » des personnes âgées !

What is silent hypoxia?

Who are prone to silent hypoxia?

How to prevent it?

When the human body is obviously hypoxic, it often manifests as chest tightness, dyspnea, shortness of

 breath, etc. At the same time, cyanosis of the nail bed and lips can also be seen. When we measure finger 

pulse oxygen, the value is usually below 93%.

The so-called silent hypoxia means that there are no symptoms of dyspnea such as chest tightness,

 shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing and expectoration, but the body is actually in a state of

 hypoxia. If it is not detected in time, it may be life-threatening.

People over 65 years old, obese, smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and cancer

 patients are prone to silent hypoxia. Especially for the elderly, because the response is slower than that

 of the young, they are not sensitive to the manifestation of hypoxia. In addition, when the condition is

 severe, it may cause mental and cognitive impairments in the elderly, which will affect their description

 of the condition to their families. , As a result, the family members neglected to discover the hypoxia of

 the elderly. Therefore, it is necessary to attach great importance to the silent hypoxia problem of the

 elderly after being infected with the new coronavirus. Family members should observe carefully to

 detect changes in finger pulse oxygen in the elderly after light activities, find out in time, and seek

 medical treatment as soon as possible.

For the elderly with underlying diseases, it is best to have an oxygen concentrator at home.

Both AE and AR oxygen concentrator of AERTI has the optional SpO2 function, which is easy for you to

 monitor the body’s oxygen condition.
